"What's wrong?"

Ye Qi was the first to notice Pei Yue's abnormality, and then Gu Zhen and Tao Hua also looked over with concern. They saw Pei Yue staring at Tao Hua's little hand, and his ever-changing expression was a bit scary.

Ye Qi asked again. Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said with a complicated smile: "It's okay, I just realized that I seem to have seen this thing before."

Taohua raised her right hand, looked at the strange-shaped object, looked it over and over, and asked curiously: "Master, when have you seen it?"

"A long, long time ago, so long that I have forgotten the specific time." Pei Yue walked to Taohua and took Lin Qingyuan's relics from her hands.

This thing is not a priceless treasure. In fact, it could be seen almost everywhere in Pei Yue's previous life. He touched the rust stains on it with his fingers, and his expression gradually became weird. He stared at the top of his head and asked with a smile: "Old Smoking Gun"

?”

Gu Zhen and Ye Qi looked at each other and found that they were worried about each other. After so many years of acquaintance, Pei Yue gave them the impression that he was almost omnipotent. Even the incomprehensible words and ink that he often talked about were also clever.

The two words "zhou" amaze the world.

People often say that there is only a thin line between such a genius and a lunatic, so Pei Yue usually blurts out nonsense that the two of them cannot understand, and they never ask him to get to the bottom of it, for fear of tempting him into a demonic barrier.

Ye Qidang walked over first and said with a smile: "I've looked and turned around. It's time for us to go back."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let me look for it again."

Gu Zhen called softly: "Brother Pei."

Pei Yue looked back at her, and the look in his eyes made Gu Zhen's heart tremble. No matter what the situation was in the past, Pei Yue's eyes were always affectionate and gentle, and they never shone with a strange light like they do now.

When Pei Yue saw that she was silent, he asked, "Sister Zhen'er?"

Gu Zhen woke up and said slightly nervously: "I'm hungry."

Pei Yue was startled, then looked at the worried Ye Qi and the ignorant Tao Hua, slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with a helpless smile: "Why are you so worried... How could I go crazy?"

Ye Qi said bluntly: "The way you looked just now did seem like a precursor to going crazy."

Pei Yue sighed: "I'm not going crazy, I just saw something like this and thought of Mr. Lin, and I felt complicated for a while."

Taohua asked timidly: "Master, do you really know Mr. Lin?"

"I don't know."

Pei Yue denied it frankly, and then sighed softly: "But I think he is my old friend."

…

The atmosphere in the carriage on the return journey seemed very quiet, no longer as lively and joyful as when it came back.

After Pei Yue's repeated assurances, Ye Qi and Gu Zhen did not force him to leave Lin's former residence. However, Pei Yue searched inside and out in great detail, but found no similar objects.

If Taohua hadn't been born with an active nature, I'm afraid this search would have yielded nothing.

Pei Yue coughed twice and slowly broke the silence in the carriage: "Sister Zhen'er, Taohua, actually I am not a bloodline of the Pei family of Dingguo Mansion."

This simple sentence left the two girls stunned.

Pei Yue told the extremely complicated and long story as briefly as possible.

After hearing this, Taohua looked at Pei Yue with tears in her eyes, and said seriously: "Master, no matter whether your surname is Pei or not, you are the best young master to Taohua!"

Pei Yue smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her hair.

Gu Zhen took a while to digest this shocking news. Compared to Taohua's naivety, she thought more deeply and subconsciously thought that Lin Qingyuan's relics were related to Pei Yue's life experience.

"Brother Pei, I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you."

"Hey, sister Zhen'er, why should we be like this between you and me? It's my fault that I shouldn't have concealed this matter, but I never had the chance to talk about it."

"Brother Pei, I...I understand, you don't need to care."

Pei Yue did not deliberately make it up, but the things he said were not closely related to the thing in his hand.

He had no choice but to do this, because his origins were too shocking, and if he wanted to explain clearly, he would probably have to start with the origin of the universe. On the other hand, he was not sure whether the two girls could withstand the impact of the news.

Now this can be regarded as a beautiful misunderstanding.

Of course, no one will be led astray by him.

Ye Qi's bright and sharp eyes looked at Pei Yue from a distance, with a bit of ridicule and pride, as if she was saying that she didn't believe his nonsense, because she knew that Pei Yue would never behave like this because of his life experience.

So glum.

Fortunately, Pei Yue has temporarily fooled him. As for Ye Qi, he will just find a way to explain it later when he is alone.

The carriage gradually became lively, and Pei Yue held the small object in his hand, his mind involuntarily drifting to his distant hometown.

The blue planet in the universe.

After coming to this world, he relied on the abilities he had honed in his previous life and the help and guidance of Mr. Xi and Gu Liang, and he transformed from a poor concubine into a powerful military noble.

The light became more and more dazzling, and the memories of past lives began to fade away.

Until today, he unexpectedly found a lighter made of stainless steel in Lin Qingyuan's former residence.

Even though time can stain so-called stainless steel with rust, this ordinary little object immediately awakened Pei Yue's memory, because not only did he often see it in his previous life, but he even used the same type of lighter himself.

The barriers of time and space seemed to suddenly disappear. A greeting from the earth traveled across the galaxy and came to Pei Yue. It was like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years. After a long separation, they said a simple and touching hello to each other.

Last year on the island in the middle of the lake in Lingzhou, Pei Zhen mentioned Lin Qingyuan's bold idea in the government planning. At that time, Pei Yue had a strange sense of familiarity, because it was clearly a simplified version of the separation of powers and the reality of the virtual king.

political program.

Now he finally confirmed that this was not the advanced consciousness of an ancient man, but the efforts of a stranger from the same hometown as him who wanted to change the world.

Pei Yue could even imagine Lin Qingyuan's original intention. After time travel, it happened to be troubled times. He regarded Emperor Gaozu as a close friend who could help him realize his ideals, so he devoted his life's knowledge to helping Emperor Gaozu establish his country and become emperor.

But the ending of the story is sad.

In the end, Lin Qingyuan failed to realize his ideal. Daliang is still an ordinary member of many dynasties throughout the ages. The common people will praise the Holy Emperor as long as they can fill their stomachs. The common people's pursuit of life is still just to live.

As for the cause of death of this national scholar, Pei Yue did not even dare to think about it.

The reason why he didn't dare was because the lonely Chinese scholar was trying his best to create a better world in this strange place.

He did not seek fame and fortune and did not like enjoyment. Not a single poem or article has been handed down to the world, and he did not even want his wife and son, who were highly valued by many people. However, all he had devoted his life in exchange for was another reincarnation of the dynasty.

What was he thinking before he died?

Pei Yue suddenly felt a throb in his heart. He felt that he should work hard to find out Lin Qingyuan's deeds. This matter was not only related to the truth about his life experience, but also hoped to record Lin Qingyuan's true life through his own pen.

Such a person should not just leave the reputation of a counselor, even if Liang Gaozu added many praise words in front of the counselor.

But after all, he is just a counselor...

Pei Yue firmly believed that Lin Qingyuan had no interest in this identity. Otherwise, with his ability, he could reach the pinnacle of civil servants, and even achieve greatness by himself.

For Pei Yue, Lin Qingyuan was an old friend and a pioneer, and he was a stranger in a foreign land.

When he was in Lingzhou, Shen Danmo once said: "The word "Zang Feng" comes from "Lun Shu", which says that the power of the pen must be used to hide the front. If the front is not hidden, the writing will be defective."

"Lun Shu" is Lin Qingyuan's only remaining manuscript. It is said that there is only one solitary volume now, which is hidden in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

Pei Yue held the lighter that had been used only for viewing nearly a hundred years ago and had long been unable to ignite a flame, and a clear light shone in his heart.
